Bakharwal Dog: The Forgotten Guardian of Kashmir | A Breed Erased by Humanity.

India's most ancient Dog breed 

In the heart of the Himalayas, one of India's most ancient and loyal dog breeds is quietly vanishing. The Bakharwal Dog, once a fearless guardian of nomadic tribes in Jammu and Kashmir, now faces extinction — not by nature’s hand, but by ours.

Who is the Bakharwal Dog?

Bakharwal Dog

The Bakharwal Dog is a rare Himalayan breed, raised for centuries by the Gujjar and Bakarwal tribes in the remote mountain regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Known for its strength, loyalty, and resilience, it was once considered the protector of flocks — and families.

A Breed on the Brink

Today, the Bakharwal faces a tragic reality:

Urban expansion has destroyed its natural range.

Neglect has left many strays wounded and alone.

Conflict in Kashmir has turned pastures into barbed-wire zones. These once-proud mountain guardians are now nearly forgotten.

Nature Didn't Erase Them — We Did

We Erase Them

This extinction isn’t natural. It's a direct result of human actions — rapid development, war, and cultural disconnection. What was once a symbol of Himalayan strength is now a ghost fading from memory.
